Concerning pruc0u257 tahu803 -smru803 ti, remembrance of the Lord in the morning, in the early morning hours (known as bru257 hma-muhu363 rta) one should get up and immediately chant the Hare Kru803 su803 nu803 a mantra, or at least "Kru803 su803 nu803 a, Kru803 su803 nu803 a, Kru803 su803 nu803 a." In this way, one should remember Kru803 su803 nu803 a. Some u347 lokas or prayers should also be chanted. By chanting, one immediately becomes auspicious and transcendental to the infection of material qualities. Actually one has to chant and remember Lord Kru803 su803 nu803 a twenty-four hours daily, or as much as possible.(from cc madhya 22.331 purport)

"Chanting japa should be done early in the morning with full concentration preferably [u]during the Brahma Muhurta time[/u]. Concentrate fully on the sound vibration of the mantra, pronouncing each name distinctly and gradually your speed in chanting will increase naturally. Do not worry so much about chanting fast, most important is the hearing."[br][br]
